| Obverse description | Cast brass cash coin featuring a central square hole flanked by four Chinese characters arranged in the traditional cross formation reading clockwise from the top: 咸 (Xian), 重 (Zhong), 豐 (Feng), 寶 (Bao), forming the reign title and denomination inscription 咸豐重寶 (Xianfeng Zhongbao). The characters are rendered in regular script (kaishu) with moderate relief against a flat, unadorned field. The coin is of the small type, with a plain rim and no inner or outer decorative rings. The overall style is typical of mid-Qing Board of Revenue Mint production. |
